Moving Day for the Bluebirds
To my delight every spring the Eastern Bluebirds will check out every birdhouse I have in my yard. For some reason they must go in each box and check them out until they find one they are happy with. Watching them trying to choose reminds me of Goldilocks and the three bears. I consider myself very lucky that they are choosing one of my birdhouses for their nest. It is a treat to see the bluebirds all thru spring and summer with their babies. The juveniles are so cute with their spotted chest begging for food from the adults. They eat insects, berries and they love mealy worms. In past years my bluebirds have had three broods. I have seen them move from house to house for their second and third nest.

Keep us posted on the Bluebird families.I think they are such gentle looking birds,and their song is the sweetest.
Blessings,Ruth
Are they picking their first nest out now? I've just been seeing the first swallows back in my neck of the woods. I'm so happy spring is right around the corner! I knew successful pairs will sometimes have a second brood but it's downright amazing if they have the stamina to raise three sets of nestlings in a season!
that is so beautiful!
They are so pretty, I miss seeing bluebirds where we live now. I love your new header photo.
Wow! I wish to have those birdies. Don't know how to care for them though - so I will just come steal peaks on your blog. :-)
Indeed you are very lucky that those lovely birds chose their house just in you yard. I envy you. This is a lovely post and beautiful photos.
Wonderful pix, the bluebirds are something special.

What beautiful pictures of the bluebirds. Lovely mosaic
Birds are endlessly fascinating to me, too. I have a birdbath outside the studio window and watch them come and go all day as I work. They're delightful!

I do not know whether we have bluebirds over here.
"To my delight" to see birds along my hiking trail too.
Oh I LOVE Bluebirds! I really really would love to see some in my yard....I've bought the "roasted" meal worms...but they just aren't cutting it...I may have to break down and buy the LIVE ones.
FAB shots!
I have never seen or heard a bluebird as I don't think we have them in the UK. Can you send some over here please their colours are beautiful!! Jackie in UK.
That's so neat that you have such pretty little birds visiting your birdhouses every spring! I have a birdhouse that has been up since last fall but no residents yet...Anita
Beautiful Bluebirds. Wonderful photos. The Bluebird is the Missouri state bird.
Great photos of the bluebirds Eileen. I've only seen them from a distance here so know they are in our area. They have such beautiful colouring, thanks for sharing.
Beautiful birds. It is very interesting to know that they check out each home before settling on one.
I never see many bluebirds and these are so pretty.
I'm a new vistor to your blog and of course when I sae the name Eileen I had to drop by. Eileen is my twin's name.
Happy Monday
Elaine
Aww! that's so great you've got them nesting in your birdhouse - lucky!! I miss having a yard soo much, grr to apartments ! :) Love the pictures and the pair together is so cute!
Dear Eileen, Your photos are really amazing! I have never seen a bluebird in our area. South Jersey isn't that far from MD. They are lovely!
Nice visiting with you!
Kindly, ldh
You always have a great show of your lovely birds! I still don't get that luck!
Pretty indeed!
Wow how amazing!
They are such pretty birds and are lucky to have a choice of houses in your yard.
You are so lucky that they have chosen you. Do you know that I had never seen a bluebird until 3 years ago? And they are gorgeous!
These are wonderful photos of such beautiful subjects. Once, several years ago two blubirds visited our yard. An exciting and unusual occurance to for us. The next day I said to my husband, "I can't believe you haven't built s bluebird house, and so he did and a pair moved in, but did not stay for long. The next spring when we moved the birhouse snd there was something inside it. He turned the birdhouse over snd sn old egg fell out!. Apparently the bluebirds had tried to nest but for some reason they had left. Occasionally in the late spring we might see a Blubird perched on our fence, but they never stay. How lucky you are to have such beauty readily available!I enjoyed all of your bluebird photos. Ann
They are so beautiful, Eileen! Thanks so much for sharing at MM. :)
Beautiful!! Nicely done! I've been trying for **years** and have yet to get a good shot of a blue bird...
